Part of England Snow Storm
So you should've seen on the news or heard it outside somewhere that part of the UK is kinda going through a snowstorm. My area alone has had snow on and off for a week with it being 4+ inches. Death tolls are rising and there has been crashing, break downs and cars getting stuck galaw!
Our military forces have also been drafted in to cope with the extreme weather with the news saying we've had the Royal Air Force playing their part. Hundreds of schools across the UK have been closed for days now, some for a week+ because it is simply unsafe! We have been warned not to travel unless really necessary. Our police and ambulance services have been pushed to breaking point.
